Comparative effects of cortisone, ACTH, and DOCA in a case of rheumatoid arthritis with Addison's disease.

چکیده
The association of "rheumatoid disease" (Ellman and Ball, 1948) and Addison's disease is exceedingly rare. Kendall (1951) believed that their co-existence was no more than a coincidence. Perera and Ragan (1950) and, more recently, Caughey and McCoy (1951) reported single cases of a combination of the two diseases. The last mentioned refer to the French literature (Dejean, 1947; de Gennes and others, 1947; Laroche, 1947), where rheumatoid joint lesions were also described in conjunction with Addison's disease.
